★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing trail that brings you through various rich ecosysytems , lookouts, and historical interpretation points ending with an incredible view overlooking the Ottawa river and the Rocher à l'Oiseau . Notes: The last stretch of road, after the ZEC office where you register, is rough so low cars should abstain. The trail is not very difficult but is isolated so prepare accordingly .

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice, challenging hiking trail. 5km out and back trek ending in a nice view of the river. Road in is in poor condition. Part of of Quebec's ZEC controlled zone, requiring check-in at the office on the way in and daily access fee.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ *CASH ONLY*
FYI - There is a $12.00 fee and it is cash only when you get there. The nearest place that will do cash back is a 20 minute drive back.
Hiked this trail in July. Very buggy, so bring your bug spray. Excellent moderate hike.
The road in is a little sketchy in spots as it is only 1 lane wide and parts have previously been washed out. But got in and out with a 2 wheel drive SUV with no issues.
Amazing views and you can use the swinging rope to jump into and climb out of the lake at the peak of the trail.
Great day trip from Ottawa!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Unfortunately the bridges are becoming unsafe and boards are breaking, as of summer 2021, unsure if the boards and railings have been replaced yet.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Serene hike. Good to bring your dog. We went in the spring so lots of water for the dog to drink from (no extra weight to carry). Beautiful lake at the summit. Someone had a rope tied to a tree to hang on to-didn’t swim then because it was too cold. Beautiful views of petatawawa and chalk river at the summit. Saw a huge hawk. Loved it! Took us 4 hours ( but we were taking our time with lots of photos of the trail).

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ You’ll need a beat-up 4x4 when traveling the unkept back gravel roads of Quebec. Large pot holes, rocks and wash-board gravel roads are your beloved path west of Sheenboro, to the Oiseau Rock Hiking Trail. A small $12 entry fee at the check point to the “ Z.E.C “ which stands for ‘Québec’s zones d’exploitation contrôlée area’. The road to the small parking lot is steep and washed out as well. But don’t be discouraged, the actual walking trail to Oiseau Lake is totally worth the rustic drive to this beautiful Quebec hidden oasis. Mind you, you must wear proper hiking gear. Especially proper foot wear. Tons of biting mosquitoes and buzzing insects, including black flies and horse flies. Bug jacket and head cover is a good option. Bug spray doesn’t cut it in the back woods of Quebec. Rumour has it the provincial bird of Quebec is the mosquito. The trail is a mix of intermediate to difficult terrain. The trail length seemed farther than we anticipated. The trail is a good 4km one way and obviously, 4km back. This rare raw nature hike is a great workout, rewarded with a nice refreshing swim in the mountain top lake, picnic at the famous Oiseau Rock lookout and hike back. Bring a backpack full of water and picnic food. It gets dark quickly so don’t venture out passed 5pm. Highly recommend the trip to explore ‘Sheen County’. To be honest, for those not crazy about hard core hiking, the Ottawa River boat ride to the base of Oiseau Rock beach, and the short trail to the summit, is by far the easiest way for the non-energetic general public, including children, to enjoy the view and lake at the top.
